A prospective influenza vaccine passed an FDA advisory committee meeting last month with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date of August 5, 2026, after the committee initially refused to review the vaccine application in early February.

AJMC reported that a prospective influenza vaccine passed an FDA advisory committee meeting with a Prescription Drug User Fee Act goal date of 5 August 2026, after the committee initially refused to review the application in early February. In a randomized trial of 40,703 participants, Moderna's mRNA influenza vaccine had 26.6 percent relative efficacy (95% CI 16.7–35.4) against a licensed standard-dose influenza vaccine. The comparator was a licensed vaccine.
